Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify contracts with Affordable Choice Electric, Continental Office Furniture, and Thatcher Enterprises Co., LTD dba Fastsigns; for various renovation projects at Columbus Public Health, 240 Parsons Avenue.
Affordable Choice Electric will renovate exterior lower level parking lights for safety and energy efficiency; Continental Office Furniture will install new flooring; and Fastsigns will install new signage at the North Dorm.
A modification of these contracts is necessary to increase funding for lighting, flooring, and signage renovations, which cannot be completed by in-house Facilities maintenance staff. These renovation projects were requested by Columbus Public Health and will be administered by the Facilities Management Division. These vendors were chosen to perform this work, as they serve as established contractors under the provisions of earlier bid solicitations. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the city to select another vendor to complete this work. Prices already established in the contracts were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to establish or modify contracts when resources or ability exceeds that which the division is able to meet in a timely manner.
